The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) named recipients of its 28th Annual “Excellence in Concrete Pavements” awards at the 54th ACPA Annual Meeting held in San Diego, California, USA. The Awards recognize quality concrete pavements constructed in the United States and Canada. The program encourages high-quality workmanship in concrete pavement projects, and serves as a way to share information about challenging and highly successful projects.
This year’s 29 awards were selected from 78 total submittals. In all, 21 contractors won awards for projects in 12 ACPA-affiliated Chapter/State areas. Thirty-six judges representing various stakeholder groups throughout the transportation-construction community evaluated projects for the award consideration. The program recognizes contractors, engineers, and project owners who completed outstanding projects. The program requires projects to be completed in the calendar year prior to judging (2017).

The ACPA Excellence in Concrete Pavements Awards are made possible, in large measure, because of the generous time commitment of independent judges from across the country. The judges each spend many hours reviewing executive summaries, project details, photographs, and other details and aspects of project submittals. ACPA presents awards in both gold and silver levels. Judging is based on a point system, with independent judges awarding points for quality construction, addressing unique and unusual challenges, innovation, traffic management, and other criteria. In the case of ties, award judges present awards to co-winners.
For publications looking for case histories throughout the year, ACPA encourages concrete pavement companies, organizations and associations to consider these award-winning projects!
